I want to weave a basket
Look for dried basketry willow rods. Choose a variety, length and thickness for the work you plan to make. Dried rods generally need soaking and mellowing before weaving; the preparation depends on the material. Dry decorative use and basket weaving are different uses, so check the selected listing and ask if you are unsure.
A product described as a cutting or rooted plant is intended for growing. It is not a substitute for a bundle of prepared weaving rods. Browse dried basketry willow.
I want to grow willow
Choose living cuttings or rooted plants. An unrooted cutting must develop its own root system; a rooted plant arrives with roots already formed. Confirm the species or cultivar, the format supplied and the growing conditions it needs. Dried craft rods are not sold as propagation stock.
For future basketry harvests, choose an appropriate basketry variety and plan for growing time. Explore plants and cuttings.
I need material for a restoration project
Use the species and plant format specified for the site. A small propagation cutting, a dormant live stake and a rooted plant are not interchangeable. The plan may call for a particular length, diameter, source region and delivery window.
Our listed 12-inch coyote willow cuttings should not be assumed to meet a live-stake specification. Send your material schedule before ordering for a streambank, wetland or revegetation project. Ask about restoration material.
